When I was a kid, everyone had the latest monophonic banger but now I think my mum is the only person who is walking round with "Mr brightside" blaring whenever she is needed.

My current one is a from a live set off charlotte de witte from eda awakening 2019 under a I’d

And was released in 2020 alignment reverse

Sitting in 2021 and the massive still haven’t click to it

Will get changed as soon as they do

Probably because only 6% of a phone usage nowadays is to make calls and that data is a year old so could even be less.

I change the ringtone on my hubby's phone every now and then, usually because it irritates me that the volume is always on full.

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

Since working from home I have set up my ringtone to play irreverent songs to stop me from getting anxiety as I received calls every few minutes before I had even climbed out of bed.

So far I have had:

Justin Bieber, Baby

Backstreet Boys, I want it that way

Rammstein, Du Hast

Being Me the Horizon, Throne

Korn, Freak on a Leash

Weezer, Islands in the Sun

The Weeknd, In Your Eyes (current)

I have had more but those are the ones I remember. Rammstein probably gives me the most anxiety now if I hear it as I had it as my ringtone for the longest and it was during the period when everyone else was furloughed. Bring Me the Horizon and Korn I couldn't take for more than a day as they made me so pissed off! Anyway, just changed it to Belinda Carlisle, Heaven is a Place on Earth

I think it's because back then you could rarely get a song you wanted, like it was never an easy task. You had to buy a CD, download it illegally, wait for it to appear on channel 18 etc. So when you got it on your phone you felt fucking incredible having Akon blasting on your phone and it was worth the effort because you felt so cool. But now music is so easy to access so it's not as exciting.

And also my phone is pretty much always on vibrate!

I’m reading through this thread with more than a little surprise.

So many of you have your phones on silent, how do you know when someone is ringing you?

And the number of you who don’t seem to make calls on your phones.

Making calls is the biggest reason I have a phone.

My ring tone is the classic ‘ ring ring’
